Monmouth averages 76.1 points on the road and gives up an average of 76.3. Monmouth is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. The numbers say take Rider in this one plus 9.

The Western Michigan Broncos will make the 2 hour trip tonight to Mount Pleasant to take on the Central Michigan Chippewas. The Broncos are 7-14 on the season, and 0-8 on the road. The Broncos dismal road record can be attributed to them averaging 67.9 points per game and giving up an average of 80.2. The Chippewas are 14-8, with a home record of 9-1, and they can score a ton at McGuirk Arena, where they average 91.8 points per game and allow an average of 83. Central Michigan is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite, and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games as a favorite. I like the Chippewas tonight, -3.

Tonight’s pick:

Central Michigan Chippewas -3

The Nevada Wolf Pack will host the New Mexico Lobos today at Lawlor Center. The last time these two teams met was at The Pit in New Mexico on 01/07/17, where the Wolf Pack engineered one of the greatest comebacks in Men’s NCAA-B history, winning in overtime, 105-104. Nevada is tough at home, with an 8-1 record, where they average 79.7 points per game and give up an average of 68.3. The Wolf Pack cover. They are 17-7-1 ATS in their last 25 home games and 17-8-2 ATS in their last 27 games overall. When the Lobos are away from The Pit, they are 3-4, averaging 71.3 points per game and giving up an average of 74.6. The Pack have the edge in points per game, defense, rebounding and turnovers. This line is moving, it’s now Nevada -4.5. This could be a close one, but Nevada gets the win. I like the Pack on the money line.

Today’s pick:

The Niagara Purple Eagles have looked impressive over their last 2 games, knocking off two good teams in Canisius and St. Peters. Tonight they will host the Manhattan Jaspers, who are going in the other direction. The Jaspers are 2-8 on the road and have dropped their last 3 games, losing to Siena, Monmouth-NJ, and Iona. The Jaspers are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games in Niagara and 5-16 ATS in the last 21 meetings with the Purple Eagles. The money line is low so it’s Niagara on the money line in this one.

Tonight’s pick:
